After I finished with Dune, I started reading John Scalzi Both the Old Man’s War and the Collapsing Empire series, he is a great and funny author.
Then I’m re-reading Discworld between the other books, I have also been reading WH40K Eisenhorn but the second book didn’t really catch, the mountain of lore can be a bit scary.
Writing manifestos isn’t illegal and neither is bomb crafting, as long as you do it in the privacy of your own home and don’t mail them to other people.
I was excited about it as well… in 2021. They’re never going to build these and if/when they do, it will bomb hard. It has become way too expensive and there are cheaper real electric cars now. There isn’t a market for these overpriced quads anymore. Only ones going to drive these are those with a death wish.
I obviously can’t speak for everyone, but in the US my parents were elated when I reached the age where they could start teaching me to drive, which in my state is 15 and a half years.
They helped me buy my first beater car for $500, then told me to get a job to pay for gas and insurance. After 16 I was never home, I was working, at school, or out with friends.
Public transportation instead of a car could have taken me to some of the densely populated areas, like the cities or the beach. But with a car I could go to the desert, to the mountains, camping in the middle of nowhere with my friends. When your state/country is HUGE then public transit might be nice, but a car means freedom to get out of the urban areas.
I was basically self sufficient, and my folks were happy to have some time back for themselves.
Same here. Having a car as a teen unlocked all the cool shit for me. Freedom to roam and meet with cool people, going fishing, shooting guns at a sandpit, getting drunk, getting laid, etc. Nobody would believe all the cool shit we did back in the day without pictures haha.
If anyone from General Mills is reading this, unless you can prove prior art I reserve the rights to this idea. Please PM me to find out where to send the royalty check to.
